Dr Hewett said that there are new studies out about allergies, and that most people are waiting too long to introduce new things. He told us to try new things all the time. This was crazy talk to me, because we've all been told to feed babies the same food a few days in a row when introducing, etc. He also so we do not have to start with cereal! OK!
Off I go to the grocery store that night to pick out different foods and cereal.
I decided to go for a good assortment of fruits and veggies, and also a box of Gerber oatmeal cereal. The next morning between bottles I decided to give solids a try. I strapped Molly in the highchair and here we go!
She was really confused by the texture at first. Sometimes she opens her mouth on her own, other times we sing her a song or something for her to open her mouth! She still makes funny faces, and blows bubbles on the spoon. I think some does make it into her belly. The rest however, is all over her and her bib!
First day we started with Oatmeal Cereal and Sweet Potatoes. Since then, she has had peaches and bananas. Tonight we are introducing GREEN BEANS!! We will see how well that goes over.
Why am I in this seat Momma?!
First taste!
What is this stuff?
It's Daddy's turn at dinnertime!!
Give me more!
This cereal makes me bored!
You actually have to open your mouth for the food to go in!
